Pile foundations. Piles subjected to lateral loads. Displacement of pile group under axial and lateral loads. Foundation design for fills. Foundations for transmission towers.

CILO-1: Interpret field and laboratory data to get design parameters for foundation analysis. CILO-2: Discuss the basic types of foundation and their application conditions. CILO-3: Develop the ability to analysis and design for foundations to meet constraints. CILO-4: Apply theories to solve foundation problems related to the settlement and bearing capacity.
